Chapter 213 Complaint
While they were chatting, Madame Emma Lockwood and the others came downstairs with the children.
"Hey, look, they're all coming down, aren't they?" Philip said with a smile.
Then, he went forward and pulled Ricky, who was acting like an adult, into his arms.
Ricky pursed his lips and gave Philip a faint smile. Then, he said, "Grandpa, I'm a grown-up now. Let me walk by myself."
Philip said, "Ricky has grown up, but look at Key, who is half a year older than you. He's still asking his father to hug him. It's fine for me to hug you. Don't be shy." Ricky felt helpless, but still allowed Philip to hug him.
Jeanne people stood up. She smiled and said, "Kim, Elodia, look. The children are fine, aren't they?"
Elodia's eyes were glued to Kieran. Seeing that her son was fine, Elodia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was worried and sized Kieran up from head to toe, and her eyes were filled with love.
Kim smiled and said, "What can happen at home?"
Jeanne saw that Elodia's gaze was glued to Kieran. She clearly wanted to go forward and express her concerns, but she endured it and didn't go forward.
Jeanne was a little surprised. "Elodia, aren't you going to take a look at Key?"
Elodia was shocked and quickly looked away, afraid that her husband and in-laws would be unhappy with her behavior.
She smiled and said, "Aunt, Key is being carried by his father. There's no need for me to take a look at him."
Kim glanced at Elodia but did not say anything.
Jeanne didn't say anything else.
The entire family sat around the dining table.
Madame Emma Lockwood and Patriarch Lockwood described what had happened between the two children. upstairs.
Upon hearing that Key had been beaten up by Betty, Kim and Elodia were shocked.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Betty immediately "delicately" crawled into Patriarch Lockwood's
arms.
Patriarch Lockwood glared at everyone and said, "What are you all looking at? Betty Baby is amazing. Are you guys not convinced?"
Kim and Elodia lowered their heads.
Colin said, "Uncle, let's not talk whilst eating."
Patriarch Lockwood immediately rolled his eyes and did not say anything else.
After dinner, he said to Colin and the others, "Your family is so boring. I miss my grandson and granddaughter-in-law, as well as those useless bachelors."
Those good-for-nothing bachelors naturally referred to Bernard, Shepard and the others.
The plane returned to Dawton City the next day. Instead of returning to Northernville Manor, it went straight to the Lockwood family's residence.
Before that, they had visited Lotus Village and sent Jackson back to Lotus Village.
Isabella was a little disappointed. In fact, she wanted to keep Master Vaughn and then bring the other masters over to celebrate the new year in Dawton City together.
Unfortunately, the masters refused to come. Even Master Vaughn insisted that she send him back to Lotus Village.
Contrary to Isabella's expectations, Damon, who was very hard to get along with, actually got along very well with Master Vaughn.
The two of them even played a few rounds of Go on the plane.
During the New Year, the weather in Dawton City was cold, and it had snowed just recently. Isabella and Draxton wore thick trench coats and followed behind Damon whilst holding hands. The moment the three of them entered the house, everyone in the living room fell silent. "Dad!" Colin was the first to come back to his senses. He excitedly walked towards Damon.
Damon saw him lose his composure and couldn't help but glare at him. "How old are you? Why are you still so jumpy?"
A hint of shame flashed across Colin's face, but he still had to complain.
"Dad, you have to talk to Uncle," he said seriously.
"What did your uncle do?" Damon looked into the living room and saw that Madame Emma Lockwood and Patriarch Lockwood were both sitting down. None of them got up to welcome him.
His face darkened.
The family had no order under his brother's control.
When he looked at everyone, he couldn't see the actions of a well-mannered family.
Seeing Damon look their way, Madame Emma Lockwood's originally smiling face immediately darkened.
Patriarch Lockwood said, "You're here?"
When Damon heard his tone, he immediately snorted angrily. "What? Am I not welcome?"
"Humph." Patriarch Lockwood snorted proudly.
"Even if you don't welcome me, I'm here." Damon walked over and sat down impolitely.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Philip and Jeanne greeted him.
Damon responded indifferently and ignored them.
Draxton and Isabella came over and greeted Colin and Gary.
This was the first time Isabella had seen someone from the Lockwood family's second branch.
Just as she expected, Colin and Gary were also very old-fashioned.
When Betty and Ricky saw that their mother and father had returned and ignored them, Ricky was fine. He just looked at them eagerly, but Betty pouted her lips. Then, she ran towards Isabella.
Isabella hugged her little body helplessly. She squatted down and said gently, "Mommy and Daddy are a little cold. I'll carry you later."
"No, I'm not afraid of the cold." She leaned into Isabella's arms.
Isabella smiled dotingly and could only hug her.
Damon stared at Betty. His eyebrows and beard trembled. In the end, he couldn't help but say, "Isabella, children can't be so indulgent." Isabella immediately said, "Grandpa Damon, you're right. I'll keep that in mind."
As she spoke, she continued to hug Betty.
Betty immediately widened her eyes in alarm and turned to look at the old man.
Isabella pinched Betty's little face and said, "Betty, this is your second great-grandpa. You have to greet him."
Betty was very polite, so she said softly, "Hello, second great-grandpa."
Damon had never been greeted by such a soft child, especially since this child was different from other
children.
The other children turned around and ran when they saw him.
However, this child looked at him with her big clear eyes. Just looking at her made him feel inexplicably
comfortable.
A rare smile appeared on his old-fashioned face.
Isabella greeted Kim and Elodia again.
Elodia looked at the magnanimous Isabella and a trace of envy flashed in her eyes.
Colin said, "Father, Key was beaten up."
He sounded like a child complaining to his parents.
Isabella looked at him in surprise.
Colin did not realize how childish his tone was. He even looked at Isabella arrogantly.
Isabella felt puzzled.
Did she offend this person?
Damon looked at Colin and asked, "What happened?"
Damon's eyes widened. His precious great-grandson had been beaten up.
"Who's the audacious one?"
Philip said, "It's that little girl. Her name is Betty."
Damon immediately turned to look at Betty.
Betty was looking at him with big innocent eyes.
For a moment, the two of them looked at each other.
Isabella finally understood why Colin had such an attitude.
It turned out that she did not offend him, but her daughter did.
Isabella's mouth twitched as she tried her best to hold back her laughter.
Betty and Damon looked at each other for a moment.
Damon coughed unnaturally and planned to reprimand Betty.
However, Betty had beaten him to it.
Before Damon could say anything, Betty was already telling everyone her side of the story.
